I very glad to hear that!
Robert's?

Yes. I sent a speculative email to Paul at Lakesidetrader enquiring if he had an example to sell and he got back to me within 24 hours with photos and offered it to me. I don't think it made it to his website.
I have to say I was very impressed with his service and politeness. He didn't know me at all, I've never bought anything from him so I didn't hold much hope he would even reply, let alone hold the cross for me.
I've sent similar emails in the past to dealers but either didn't get a reply or been made to feel like I shouldn't have even asked.

It feels a bit weird though. I wish I could've obtained an example in another way and not at the expense of another respected collectors misfortune.

Yes, Paul is a very good dealer.
It is just a shame that he sell from USA, because of the taxes when we take the crosses into EU.

It is a sad thing with Robert, but I hope he will be allright. I don't know what happent, since he have to sell all of his crosses. I haven't asked him.

re: New LDO EKII's

Leave some LDOs for the rest of us please guys! I am still looking for my first but I am not as eagle eyed as you!

Great crosses Sonny ! Congrats Ade on bagging Roberts L/56. I only managed to get one of his mm138s due to overspending this month

Haha, you have to be very quick with the LDO's.. But a L/11 should be easy to find.

Overspending! Tell me about it. The last month I spend about 2550 €.
But don't tell my wife
Some news for the collection are: 2 Schinkels, Round3, Übergrosse Littlebrother, #100, L55, L/14, 2 Gold Wound badges, Silver Wound badge, Destroyer badge and a few other things I can't remember!
I is very hard to stop again in this hobby!

I can relate to that. Four EKs and two, potentially three Minesweepers are on the way........

Ouch!

That's some serious spending but some nice new additions on the way also, look forward to seeing them. I would also like to see your wife's face if she ever finds out!
